" According to Reggie, the teams between Universal and Nintendo are working tremendously well together. He even attributes this to Universal’s affinity for [Nintendo’s] IP.
It’s a huge opportunity. What has been really gratifying for me is that the teams between Universal and Nintendo are working tremendously well together. The Universal team not only has a wealth of experience in creating these immersive amusement interactive situations, but they also have a great affinity for our IP. What this promises for the guest at the Universal Studios theme parks is something that’s really magical.
Reggie hinted at some kind of smartphone integration. This would certainly add a unique element to the Nintendo section of the park. However, he never gives any examples of how this may work.
These theme park designers are considering that so many of their patrons have a smart device. They’re thinking about what that means to the overall experience. I’m not going to share anything in this interview, but certainly the Universal team is aware of it. Certainly it is something that they are considering as they work with us to create this theme park experience."
I personally can't wait to see how everything will turn out. It would be awesome if I could be at the Nintendo area in Tokyo when the Olympic Games begin!
